Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03002772A1] The invention relates to a method for producing a high-strength cold-formed product from a hot-rolled strip, said product exhibiting good malleability. According to said method, a steel comprising (in wt.%): C: 0.01 0.25 %, Si: 0.01 1.50 %, Mn: 0.50 2.00 %, P: <= 0.08 %, S: <= 0.01 %, Al: 0.001 1.50 %, Cr: <= 0.60 %, Mo: <= 0.60 %, N: < 0.02 %, at least one micro-alloy element from the group Ti: <= 0.20 %, Nb: <= 0.06 %, V: <= 0.15 %, the remainder being iron and the usual impurities is cast to form an input stock such as slabs, thin slabs or a cast strip. Starting from an initial hot-roll temperature, at which the micro-alloy elements remain essentially dissolved, the input stock is hot-rolled to form a hot-rolled strip. Said strip is firstly wound at a winding temperature of less than 600 DEG C and then cold formed into a product at a cold formation degree which is not less than 2 % and not greater than the deformation limit. The cold-formed product is annealed at a temperature and for a period which are less those required for complete recrystallization. The inventive method enables a cold formed product to be produced, said product exhibiting high strength, malleability and plasticity in the cold formed state.
